Service and vibe was great. Food was mediocre. Two of the dishes that we ordered was not good. The grilled prawns was 5-6 pieces which was small for the price. The chicken in the Cesar salad was sauteed and browned.

Manu and his team led by George and Alex are the best in the business. You will not find a more welcoming restaurant in Brussels. Food is simple, traditional and excellent.

The welcome was very warm and friendly, the service from all the staff was good at all times and we really enjoyed the authentic Belgium food. Such a fun buzzing atmosphere to enjoy a meal out with friends. I’d definitely go back.

A good bistro. We went for an early lunch and had the mussels and the ham hock with mustard sauce with a couple of beers. Attentive and friendly service, couldn’t fault it. Surrounding area is a bit grotty and a good 20-25 mins walk from Grand Place so depends on where you are staying, but would eat here again.

I would like to emphasize the amazing, high- level service we received last night for dinner. While it was very busy - I honestly must say that this is one of the best services I have received! Waiter was quick, friendly and really thought of every little detail like true proffesional. Food was also very good and overall amazing experience!

Go there very hungry, especially if you have the knuckle of ham. Couldn’t make it to the fries, which were good, as the ham was such a monster. I have given the food 4, only to reflect the superb service which was even better than the food. Ideally I would have given the food 5 and the service 6.

The first night of our trip was enjoyable, and good to be able to eat outside. A food selection of Belgian beers, reasonably priced, but no tap water available. Bottled water (still) was 5.80 euro for 50cl which seems excessive.
